How willing are we, leaders, to transform ourselves by addressing our biases and assumptions? This is the bottom line of our cultural competence in leadership, to work from the inside out on our views of others. In this episode, Dr. Shaunta uses David Livermore's book on cultural intelligence to discuss the first to quadrants of his CQ model: Drive and Knowledge. There are several ways to see the impact of culture in our workplaces and we are challenged to consider culture in our interactions with our teams. Cultural intelligence is not just for "overseas travel." Cultural intelligence applies to interstate travel, intrastate travel, locally in our cities, and with our next door neighbors. Let's be honest with ourselves, leaders, and push ahead in transformation. For the review of the Livermore text, see the first season of episodes.
